Figure 8 is a view in end elevation ofthe sliding anvil block as herein employed; 4 Figure; 9 is a view in side elevation" of the sliding anvil block as illustrated in Figure As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, 1 denotes an elongated member or shank having extending from one of its faces a pin 2 and also provided withian opening 3.as indicated bybroken linesin I Figure 1 to afford means whereby the shank or member may be anchored in position upon a desired support. It is t-o be understood, however, that I do not wish to limit myself to any particular structure or means for 6 holding the shank or member 1 in desired 7 workingposition. r i I, A v .The upper portion of the member or shank. 1,. as herein disclosed, is disposed laterally upon a desired curvature, as indicated at 4,;providing a flat end surface ,or

wall 5.

The free extremity of the portion 4 has extending upwardly therefrom a fixed anvil block 6, said block extending partiallyacross 7 the portion from one side thereof. The block 6 has disposed across its outer face a groove or channel, the basewall 7 of which being disposed on an upward and outward incline and constituting the'workingface of the, block,- Extending forwardly from g the upper-portion of the block 6 is a plate 8, said plate being also disposeda desired distance laterally beyond'the inner face of the block '6 and extending across the upper so portion of said'inner side face of:the block. The plate 8 a desired distance in advance of theblock 6. has formed therewith a 'depending block 9, said blockex'tending partially across the plate 8 from'aside thereof. The 5 x outer side of the block 9 is provided {with a grooveor channellO which freely'receives which opposed to. the working, face 7 of the opposite or outer end portion of'this arm 11 s V is pivotally connected, as at 14', to an end portion of a rock lever 15. This rock lever 15; midway its ends is provided with the" oppositely disposed trunnions 16 whereby V the lever is pivotally engaged with the ad;

' 'jacent end "portion of the plate 8 and an applied: bottom plate 17. This plate 17 is maintained in desired position by one or morei screws 18 extending through the bot tom plate and in proper engagement with the adjacent portion of the depending block 9. ith the plate 17 in applied position the ment.

i The oppositefendportion'of thelev'erl5 has pivotally connected therewith, as at 19, the outer endportion of an elongated mem-' ber 20. This member '20, is freely disposed througha groove 21' provided in the upper portionofthe block 9, -()verlying the outer side face of the member is the rear end portion of' an elongated m'emb'er122. ,This

elongatedmember22, as'herein disclosed, is

25, 7' I posed slots 23 through each of which is diprovided with a seriesof longitudinally dis rected a headed member 24 in threaded engageinent with the. member 20. Y By this means the members 20 and 22 may be readily adjusted lengthwise one with respect to the "other and firmly locked in any desired selecti ve adjustmentg' The forward po'rtion22 of the member 22 is inwardly'offsetbringing the same in longitudinal ali'gnment'with the member 20.

Theouter or free end portionof the member 22 constitutes a setting die 25; This setting "die 25-;is-opposed to a suitably beveled or working face26 carried by a sliding" anvil 275 This anvil 27 is mounted forendwise I movement in'a direction transversely of the plate 8. The anvilj27 when applied has its rear face in contact-with the inner'face of "theblock 9'an'd the anvil 27 is also snugly received between the inner portion 1 of-the appliechbottoin plate 17'Jand theportion of the plate .8 immediately'adj acent to the block 9 and above saidlinne'r portion ofthe plate The anvil 27 at the required pointintermediate its ends has its lower portioaprovided' with. groove or channel. 28 through which freely moves the 7 *endof thearm'l l.

outer or working By. proper 'e'ndwis movement being given tothe anvil 27 the setting die 12 may be adjusted toward or from the setting die 25, thus affording means whereby the toolmay beselectively adjustedfor use in connection withsaws ofdiffering gauge, that is to say,

j *saws-having a varying number-of teeth-per 1 c e V i V To 'facilit'ate the mounting .and' proper functioning thereof, the lever-l5 its op-j posite end portions offset in the same genis effectively held against displace eral direction as its axis of rotation as is particularly illustrated in Figure 7.

In the present embodiment of my invention, theouter end portion of the anvil 27 is provided in its upper face with a transversely disposedgroove or channel 29 which receives a flange 30 carried by a nut 31. This nut 31 is threaded upon a shank 32 carried by and extending outwardly from the outer side face of the platef8. By rotating the 1 i nut 31 in the requisite direction the anvil 27 may bemoved inja direction to effect the desired adjustment between the setting dies 7' l2 and 25. V r V.

The outer or free extremity of the portion as at 37. This lever 36 at a point inwardly of and, below the pivotal c0nnection'37 has s1multaneous movement of the setting 12 and 25 one toward the other. Normally these settingdies 12 and 25 are dies at their limit of separating movement fand are maintained in such normal 'POSltIOIlS lever 36 and pivotally connected therewith,"- 5

pivotal mounting at 38' withthe memberor" shank 1. This lever 36 extends upwardly a desired distance and is adapted: to be op'er 'ated in any preferred manner toefiecta through the instrumentality of a retractile' V ;coilspring 39 of requisite tension, one end portion of which being connecte d, asat40, with the member 22 and the opposite end vportion in proper engagement with an'upstanding post 41, inthe present embodiment of my invention, carried by portion 40f themember or shank 1. I 7 s It is to be noted that the inner end of. the

applied botton plate l7 islsufiiciently spaced from the flat end wall 5? to'permit the readv application of the saw'S, theteeth of which I are to be set, and also thatithe sliding anvil 27 issufliciently spaced from the anvil block 6 for the same purpose as isparticularly illustrated inFigure. 1 of the accompanying I drawings. i v a The tool, 'as here1nd1sclosed, can be employed with particular advantage in connection Wlth saw filing. mach nes having anin term1ttently operated saw carrying frame and a reciprocating file carrying member. 1

When used in connection with such? a ma chine the shank or member 1 is so; mounted thereon as to permit the proper positioning of the saw carrying frame with respect to o 7 i the tooland to bring the lever 36 in the path 1 of apart reciprocating with the file carrying member. By this arrangement, the lever :36 will be'swunginwardly to effect the proper setting of adjacentteeth of the saw and the saw S throughritsframe willbe I automatically intermittently .fed with 7- respect to the saw setting gtool wherebythe avee'p'oe desired setting of all the teeth ofthe "saw may be accomplished in substantially an automatic manner and without any particular labor on the part of the operator after the various parts have once been' assembled in desired effective relation.

From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a-sawf set con-' structed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adapted for use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may be assembledand operated, and it will also be obvious that my invention is susceptible of some change and modification without departing from the principles I inner face of said depending block and sup ported for sliding movement in a direction transversely of the plate, an arm freely disposed through the block and having a setting die for coaction with the fixed anvil, a rock arm operatively supported by the plate outwardly of the depending block, the first named arm beingoperatively engaged "with an end portion of said rock arm, a
